Outdoor adventures, mostly gravel rides, but not always

Royal Basin

One of the more beautiful hikes in the Olympics, especially for visiting high alpine lakes

Stunning glacial blue lakes

I hadn’t been to Royal Lake since a backpacking trip in July 2011. At the time we were unable to make it to the upper basin because of a late melting snow pack. I was excited to explore the upper basin on this trip as over the last few years I had become pretty familiar with the region from prior rides and hikes.
